Acts 4:1-22
-
[Act 4:12] Conquering Kings Their Titles Take
Conquering kings their titles take,
From the lands they captive make;
Jesus, Thine was given Thee
For a world Thou madest free.Not another name is given
Power possessing under heaven,
Strong to call dead souls to rise
And exalt them to the skies.That which Christ so hardly wrought,
That which He so dearly bought,
That salvation, mortals say,
Will ye madly cast away?Rather gladly for that Name
Bear the cross, endure the shame;
Joyfully for Him to die
Is not death but victory.Jesus, if Thou condescend
To be called the sinner’s Friend,
Ours the joy and glory be
Thus to make our boast of Thee.Glory to the Father be,
Glory, virgin born, to Thee,
Glory to the Holy Ghost,
Ever from the heavenly host.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Act 4:12] Only One Name
There is only one Name that the saints adore—
Jesus, our Elder Brother;
They give Him all the praise, now and ever more;
His Name is over every other.Refrain
Then lift the happy strain,
And sing the glad refrain—
The Name, the Name of Jesus;
Then lift the happy strain,
And sing the glad refrain—
The Name, the Name of Jesus.There is only one Name that the soul need know—
Jesus, the Lord’s Anointed;
He suffered to redeem us from sin and woe,
And bear us to the rest appointed.Refrain
There is only one Name that the angels sing—
Jesus, the Lord of Glory;
They gather at His feet while they hail Him King,
And listen to redemption’s story.Refrain

[Act 4:12] ’tis For Conquering Kings To Gain
’Tis for conquering kings to gain
Glory o’er their myriads slain;
Jesus, Thy more glorious strife
Hath restored a world to life.So no other Name is giv’n
Unto mortals under Heav’n
Which can make the dead to rise,
And exalt them to the skies.That which Christ so hardly wrought,
That which He so dearly bought,
That salvation, mortals, say,
Will you madly cast away?Rather gladly for that Name
Bear the cross, endure the shame;
Joyfully for Him to die
Is not death, but victory.Dost Thou, Jesus, condescend
To be called the sinner’s Friend?
Ours, then, it shall always be
Thus to make our boast of Thee.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Act 4:12] To The Name Of Our Salvation
To the Name of our salvation,
Laud and honor let us pay,
Which for many a generation
Hid in God’s foreknowledge lay;
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud today.Jesus is the Name we treasure;
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness, Name of pleasure,
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness, passing measure,
Saving us from sin and hell.’Tis the Name for adoration,
Name for songs of victory,
Name for holy meditation
In this vale of misery,
Name for joyful veneration
By the citizens on high.’Tis the Name that whoso preacheth
Speaks like music to the ear;
Who in prayer this Name beseecheth
Sweetest comfort findeth near;
Who its perfect wisdom reacheth,
Heavenly joy possesseth here.Jesus is the Name prevailing
Over every name by right;
At this Name, in terror quailing,
Powers of hell are put to flight;
God, in mercy never failing,
Saves by this Name of might.Therefore we in love adoring,
This most blessèd Name revere;
Holy Jesus, Thee imploring
So to write it in us here,
That hereafter, heavenward soaring,
We may sing with angels there.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Act 4:12] To The Name That Is Salvation
To the Name that is salvation,
Praise and homage let us pay;
Life of every generation,
Law that all the stars obey;
Love and light by Whose creation
All that is stands fast today.Fairest Name beyond all speaking,
Fullest end of all desire,
Close, yet far beyond all seeking,
Goodness, beauty, truth, entire;
Wisdom, never vengeance wreaking,
Radiance never vexed with ire.’Tis the Name of mercy, speeding,
Just and unjust with His ray;
Power that rules by patient leading,
Not by force, the easier way;
So that man, in freedom heeding,
May the law of love obey.Name of awe and Name of pleasure,
Glow divine of grace untold;
Sum of values, whose full treasure
Striving art can ne’er unfold;
Sea of virtue passing measure,
Life that doth all life uphold.Hail, O Father, all creating,
Now, as when the world began;
Master Mind, amazed we hail Thee,
As the light-year depths we scan;
Spirit of transcendent union,
True and just Thy ways to man!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Act 4:13] O Christ, Our God
O Christ, our God, who with Thine own hast been,
Our spirits cleave to Thee, the Friend unseen.Vouchsafe that all who on Thy bounty feed
May heed Thy love, and prize Thy gifts indeed.Make every heart that is Thy dwelling place
A watered garden filled with fruits of grace.Each holy purpose help us to fulfill;
Increase our faith to feed upon Thee still.Illuminate our minds, that we may see
In all around us holy signs of Thee.And may such witness in our lives appear,
That all may know Thou hast been with us here.O grant us peace, that by Thy peace possessed,
Thy life within us we may manifest.So shall we pass our days in holy fear,
In joyful consciousness that Thou art near.So shalt Thou be for ever, loving Lord,
Our Shield and our exceeding great Reward.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Raised you from the death of sin;

Shall we go before His face;

With the message of His grace.Refrain

Pleading, on His throne of glory,
He is speaking now for you.Refrain
